The ecological and economical importance in addition to its social complexity make the honey bee, Apis mellifera, an interesting model for studies on Developmental Biology. One of the principal questions concerns the development of the gonads, since the individual's reproductive capacity is a determinant factor for division of labor. The queen is the primary reproductive female, while the…
Apis mellifera is an attractive model for studying polymorphic systems because of its complex social organization, economic and ecological importance. Understanding the mechanisms involved in caste development in these bees is important to clarify questions about the evolution and maintenance of a social lifstyle in insects. Queens are responsible for colony reproduction and the workers f…
The complex social lifestyle associated with phenotypic plasticity make the honey bee, Apis mellifera, an interesting model for Developmental Biology studies. Within the female sex, the queen is the primary reproductive female in a colony, while the workers are subfertile, responsible for colony maintenance. Males (drones) contribute little to the social structure, except for mating with …
